Did fraudsters ruin Wizkid career in music? Learn what happened.
Recently we have heard the news of a fake
Wizkid being
caught by the police. It was a girl, who looked just like him. She
contacted foreign clients and got money from them for Wizkid's
performances. She has managed to ruin his reputation. What happens next?
What Wizkid has to say about the fraudsters?
Now
when the fake fraud Wizkid and others are arrested by the Lagos police,
the musician got the chance to fix up his reputation. He felt sick and
tired of this whole situation. These people really got on his nerves and
gave him much trouble.

They
created him a poor reputation in the world. Many of the foreign clients
transferred them money and got nothing in return. Some of them even
turned to court for justice, and Wizkid paid out compensations. Some of
them amounted to over $40 000! So, financially Wizkid suffered a
significant loss.
Moreover, the fraudsters have opened up a
Facebook account, the fake one, for Wizkid and used it for their
purposes. The lady who did it even contacted Wizkid's friends and
chatted with them on his behalf!
So, overall he is jubilant she
got caught. And Wizkid now has to restore his good name with the
international clients and keep up his security on social media and
elsewhere!

Flavour, Wizkid send out fraud alert

By Kehinde Ajose
In recent times, Flavour and Wizkid have been victims of fraud by
individuals who leverage on their flourishing brands to make quick cash .
Flavour in a recent press release warns his fans about fake social
media pages bearing his name.
According to him: “It has been brought to mine and my team’s attention
that there are numerous fake social media and business network accounts
operating in my name, duping and scamming individuals and fans across
the world. Please take important note that, I am not the one operating
these accounts. These impersonators are using my name to reach out to
people via social media to engage in criminal activity.”
In the same vein, Ojuelegba singer Wizkid took to his Twitter handle to
talk about the fact that he has lost out on major financial deals
because of impersonators who made deals on his behalf.
“Due to a fraudulent data breach, of impersonators who acted on behalf
of my management .We have had to cancel so many dates this year”. He
further announced his real management team to allay the fears of
potential show promoters”

(FILES)- A March 2, 2012 file photo shows an Ohafia cultural troupe

leader Odumegwu Ojukwu at his native Nnewi country home, in Anambra
State eastern Nigeria. Odumegwu Ojukwu, who championed the campaign for
an independent Republic of Biafra in eastern Nigeria in the 1960s
culminating in a 30-month civil war which left more than a million dead
was buried at his Nnewi family home in Anambra State. Its name is
synonomous with the declaration of independence and updates on the
brutal conflict that followed, but nearly 50 years after Nigeria's civil
war, Radio Biafra is again making headlines. AFP PHOTO

Indeed, Naira devaluation is probably the most potent weapon against
the prosperity of Nigerians. Nigeria’s migration from a potential
industrial power house with bustling social affluence, to a subdued and
stumbling economy clearly began with the adoption of IMF’s Structural
Adjustment Programme during Babangida’s regime: the chorus from
International Agencies, at that time, was also that falling oil prices
with an unserviced debt burden and the consequent restriction of trade
credit to Nigeria, were the products of an allegedly overvalued Naira
exchange rate.
This devaluation ‘be like’ 419!

local economic experts, have commended the recent de...
